ABSTRACT:
A package for protecting objects, such as cans of hazardous material, during shipment includes a box and inserts located at opposite ends of the box. Each insert includes a pad of honeycomb and a wrap surrounding the pad. The pad along one of its facer sheets is cut to define a region where the honeycomb is crushed and the facer sheet is depressed so as to provide a pocket in the pad. The wrap for that insert has an opening which aligns with the pocket. The ends of the object fit through the openings in the wraps and into the pockets of the pads. Thus, the crushed honeycomb of the pads serves as cushions which confine the object axially within the box, whereas the wraps confine the object laterally within the box. The pads extend into the corners of the box, but the wraps do not, so that impacts delivered to the corners are absorbed by the pads and are not transmitted through the wraps.
